An hour later the four adults sat at the table eating chocolate cake. Cake that Joshua had made. Evelyn was talking with Grace when he iced it. Ethan apparently couldn't help himself.

"This is great cake, Evelyn.” Ethan winked.

"What can I say? I'm good. Made a cake without touching it once.” Evelyn slid her hand over Joshua's thigh as she said it.

"Okay, time for bed. See you in the morning. I have to work.” Joshua stood, grabbed Evelyn's hand, and pulled her up. “Ethan, will you lock up?"

"Sure thing.” Ethan nodded, pulled up from his seat, and cleared the table.

Joshua followed Evelyn up stairs and down the hall.

"Joshua, I should make sure everything is locked up in there"

"Okay. I'll grab a quick shower.” He kissed her forehead and rubbed up and down both of her arms with his hands.

"Doesn't have to be quick.” Evelyn bit her bottom lip.

"Shit.” He smacked himself in the forehead. “The condoms are on top of the refrigerator."

"I didn't see them."

"In the brown paper bag, I'll go get ‘em.” Joshua started to turn but felt Evelyn grab his arm.

"I'll get them. They won't keep me downstairs talking. You go get in the shower.” Evelyn tiptoed up, and Joshua bent down to kiss her. The instant his lips touched hers he was ready. Growling.

"Down boy,” Evelyn rasped. “I'll be back in a minute."

* * * *

Evelyn stepped into the guest room and made sure everything dangerous was secured and then closed the door behind her. Quietly she headed downstairs for the condoms. The television was on, so hopefully she could sneak in and out with no problems. Of course when she turned the corner at the stairs she realized, there was a problem.

Ethan had Grace laid out like a feast on the kitchen table. Grace couldn't see him or Evelyn thanks to that belly. And thankfully she wasn't completely naked, yet. Ethan, however, was buck naked and ready to take his seat. Evelyn ran quietly back upstairs.

"Joshua.” Evelyn stood in the bathroom, her face as red as her hair.

Joshua peeked from behind the shower curtain. “Why are you dressed?"

"I saw them.” Evelyn practically walked in place in the bathroom. “Grace and Ethan."

"Let me guess, kitchen table?” Joshua shook his head. “Thieving bastard."

That made her giggle.

"Hot water's gonna run out, last chance.” Joshua wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"You know it was easier in the hall. Now I'm kinda...” Evelyn looked at the floor. She was nervous. Two big feet stepped out in front of her as water pooled around them.

As soon as she looked up, Joshua kissed her. He had forgotten all this was new to her. He should have waited for her. His soaking wet hands pulled her shirt over her head and tossed it on the sink. Evelyn almost protested, but he caught her neck in his mouth and flipped the bra strap loose with no effort. That must have hit the switch because her hands started roaming his soaking wet back.

Damn he was good at popping that bra so easily. Evelyn couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to climb him like a tree and stay there forever. His fingers unfastened her jeans and pushed both the jeans and panties to the floor. He knelt before her as she lifted one foot and the other. The bathroom floor was soaked from the water rolling off of him. He tossed her clothes up to the sink.

With him bent down before her it was difficult to stand. He could have stayed there on his knees and enjoyed himself, but this was about Evelyn and a new experience for her. So he stood. His sex pressed into her belly, and she moaned. Of course he had to growl at that. Lifting her off the floor, he stepped back into the shower then set her down.

"What are we going to do in here?” Evelyn tipped her head as he gently pulled, wetting her hair.

"Shower, what else?” Joshua teased and then really teased by rubbing soap over her taut nipples.

"Joshua?” Her breath caught. Her hands were trembling in a mix of desire and uncertainty. She wasn't sure how good she was at this, but she knew he was amazing.

"Relax, I'll lead.” Joshua hugged her tightly then squeezed shampoo in his hands. He lathered her hair and massaged her scalp. “This time."

The water fell between them and seemed hotter after it touched Evelyn. Joshua lathered the soap on a washcloth and stroked it gently over her collarbone. He circled her breasts, over her shoulders, down her arms, and pulled each finger one at a time between the cloth. He turned her around and treated her back to the same care, massaging the muscles in her neck and shoulders along the way.

Evelyn placed her hands on the wall to keep from falling. She hung her head low as Joshua's capable hands rubbed all the stress and tension right out of her. It wasn't until he nipped her butt cheek with his teeth that she realized he was trying to get her to turn. She obeyed. He smiled up at her taking one leg at a time, propping it on his thigh and washing her. Each little toe got his full attention. She had no idea how sensitive her feet were until then. How good it felt to be cherished by a man. This wasn't the time to cry, but a tear escaped anyway.

"You ready?” Joshua asked hugging her close again. “The water's getting cold."

Evelyn nodded. She didn't want him to know she was crying, afraid he may stop, and she definitely didn't want him to stop. He turned off the shower and reached for a towel. He dried her off a little faster but with the same care. He patted himself dry with a much less tender approach, and Evelyn laughed.

"What?” He looked at her with a smile as big as Texas.

"You treat me so delicate and then you just pound on yourself.” Evelyn took the towel from him and attempted to dry him delicately.

"You're a woman.” Joshua dropped the towel and more hungrily said, “I'm a man."

"Yes, you are.” Evelyn smiled and looked him over from head to toe and back again. “A fine specimen indeed."

Joshua burned from the inside as her gaze carried the flame over him. He took her in his arms and carried her to the bedroom. Gently he lowered Evelyn on the clean bedding. He decided then he needed more sheets. Three sets wouldn't be enough, not anymore.

"Where are you going?” Evelyn grabbed for him as he stood to the side of the bed.

"Right here.” He knelt down on both knees and pulled her to the edge of the bed.

Her legs slid over both his shoulders, and she could feel his breath on her sex. She desperately wanted him to touch her, do what he had done twice the night before, and it didn't seem like he would disappoint when two rough fingers slid between her.

"You're already wet, Evelyn."

"We just got out of the shower."

"But I dried you here, remember?” Joshua slid one finger in just a bit.

"Ohhh.” Evelyn moaned.

"You forgot, baby?” He dipped it a little farther.

"Mmmm.” Evelyn moaned again and tried to wiggle down farther on him.

"Stay there. You'll fall off the bed.” Joshua pushed his index finger all the way in.

"You'll catch me.” Evelyn gasped and arched against him.

He laughed a satisfied laugh then slid his thick tongue all over her. Licking teasing. Her hips lifted and pressed into him. Sliding a hand underneath her, he held her bottom steady, pushed two fingers inside, and suckled hard on her clit. Her tight little vagina closed down around him, and her hips bucked. But it was her muffled groans that made him smile.

"You like that?” Joshua licked lazily milking the aftershocks. Her legs flinched each time he tickled her clit.

"Joshua.” Evelyn reached for him. He pulled his fingers out, so she could sit up.

"Yes, baby?” He licked and sucked her left nipple and then her right.

"I need you.” She was breathless.

"Tell me what you want.” Joshua kissed her neck.

"You, all of you, now.” Evelyn lifted his face and kissed his lips. Her lips were shaking, and so were her fingers. “Please."

"Did you get them?” Joshua sucked at her neck, not hard enough to mark her but enough she would feel it.

"What?” Evelyn had forgotten about the condoms.

"The bag, baby, the condoms.” Joshua looked at her eye to eye. It only took a second to realize she had forgotten them. He growled a ferocious growl.

"I'm sorry. They were naked. I just ran back upstairs.” Evelyn felt horrible. This poor man had given her plenty of sexual pleasure, and she had left him out in the cold again. No, she resolved right then, she would handle this. She didn't need a condom to handle this.

Joshua stood to his feet. He'd march downstairs buck naked if he had to. There was no way he could go to bed without touching Evelyn. Before he could protest, he felt her hands on him. He looked down and realized Evelyn had a look of interest on her moonlit face. For a woman who tied men up, she seemed awfully fascinated by his penis.

"I can go get them.” Joshua fought to keep his eyes open as she gently traced her fingers along his length.

"No. You don't need one.” Evelyn was really fascinated by the silky texture of it, yet underneath that smooth skin the muscles were rigid. It seemed to flex and move on its own.

"You teasing me?” Joshua desperately wanted her to grip him. The light touches were maddening.

"Nuh-uh.” Evelyn shifted herself around a bit. Her hands were a little shaky. She wasn't about to tell him, but she had never done this before.

"Feels like you're teasing me.” Joshua decided to help her out. She may like to torture a man tied up, but his hands were free. Sliding his hand around hers, he gripped hard. Pulling her hand down and pushing it back up to the head, he groaned.

"Oh.” Evelyn always considered herself a fast learner. He treated her gently; she was a woman. He was a man, and he needed it a little rough. “What about here?"

Her hand slid to cup his balls which were already growing tight. “Gentle there. Harder here.” It seemed strange to give her directions, but maybe that's what she liked. Besides, he didn't mind talking, not to Evelyn.

"Got it.” Evelyn focused on stroking him and found herself getting closer and closer to him. Her lips touched the tip, and his cock jumped. She liked that reaction and kissed him. A salty drop escaped. Evelyn pushed her tongue on the smooth surface of the head and looked up. He was watching her. His black hair hung off his forehead, and his green eyes were so bright they almost glowed in the dark.

"Open.” Joshua realized he was going to have to direct this whole thing. It must have been torture to be tied up by her. Thank God he didn't tell her he considered it. Finally her lips parted, and he dipped in, growling deep. “That's it, baby. Let me in."

Evelyn realized that all he wanted her to do was suck on him.
Well hell, why didn't he say so?
She knew how to do this, heard about it from friends. All she had to do was take him deep, or as much as she could, lick the head and hum.

Joshua was overwhelmingly surprised when Evelyn switched gears and took over. Her hand held the grip he had shown her, and her mouth now sucked and licked and, uh-oh, hummed.

"Evelyn, Evelyn, Evelyn.” Joshua had to pull back hard to get out of her mouth. He leaned over breathless. “Woman, I'm about to come."

"So then get back here.” Evelyn reached for him, and he stepped back.
Why did he do that?
Wasn't he supposed to just ... 0f course; Joshua wouldn't take advantage of her, even for his own personal gratification. Yes, she loved this man. He really was an angel even in the most devilish situation.

"You're sure about that?” Joshua almost lost it at the thought of getting to come in her mouth. He didn't want to disrespect her. If it was another woman and he was still in his twenties, he wouldn't have cared. But this was Evelyn, and he never wanted to take advantage of her.

"Come here, Big Dog. I know what I'm doing.” Evelyn knew what would happen. Hold your breath and swallow, that's what Megan had said. She remembered thinking that little wench was crazy for getting her face anywhere near one of these, but Joshua had tasted her. She wanted to taste him.

Joshua hurried back a little too eagerly, and she laughed. Before he could get embarrassed by it, she had him weak in the knees again. It only took a few strokes to get him ready, and when she started humming, the vibration rocked his world. It was his turn to scream, but it was more like a loud guttural moan. He felt her swallowing, swallowing, and then she took a breath.

Evelyn tried not to make a face, but regardless of how much she had mentally prepared, it was unexpected. The sheer force was amazing. Hearing him growl and feeling his release was intoxicating. She really could have dominated a man in the bedroom; it was easy. But more than that, it felt good. It felt great to make him feel good. She wanted to make him feel it again, like he had done for her.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Evelyn.” Joshua slid his hands to her face and pulled back. His hands were trembling, and his legs were weak. “Need a minute, sweetheart."

"You didn't give me a minute.” Evelyn slid back as he collapsed in the bed.

"It's not the same.” Joshua laughed. He knew exactly how to explain this to her in terms she would not only understand but also appreciate. “Women are stronger than men. You can orgasm over and over with just seconds to recover. Men need a minute, maybe ten."

"That's a shame.” Evelyn snuggled into his chest since his arms were urging her to do so. She twisted his damp chest hair and realized he was soaked. He was sweating all over, and all he had done was stand there.

"Why's that?” Joshua smiled. God, she was amazing. That had to have been the most ground shaking release of his life. He was drenched from holding back; every muscle had tightened and didn't release until he did.

"I was hoping to do it again, like you did.” Evelyn let out a disappointed sigh.

"Huh.” Joshua realized in an instant, she could. Somehow he was ready.

"That's what I thought.” Evelyn slid her hand over him, and he flexed at her touch.

"I have an idea.” Joshua tilted her chin and took her lips. “We can both do this."
